Message from the Principal
Happy Holidays Panda Community,
With our last week before break upon us I wanted to remind everyone of some important events prior to the break. While we will have fun holiday events scheduled throughout the week our family event will fall on December 16th with our Holiday Parties! Our PreK-2 will have their parties beginning at 10am and ending at 10:45am. The 3rd-5th grade will have their holiday parties from 11am and end at 11:45 am. We ask parents to please sign their children out with the teacher if you are choosing to take your child home after the party. If you are not attending both parties we ask that you leave right after the party in the morning so that we have some parking available for our families attending the 3rd-5th grade events. We will send home sack lunches with our students that typically eat in the cafeteria. Dismissal is beginning at 12:00pm so please make arrangements to ensure your child is picked up by 12:30pm at the latest. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukah, 3īd lmīlād, Navidad, or just spend time with family we wish you the very best for your break, doing the things you love best with the people you love best!
Happy Everything!
Wendy Anaya

News From Nurse Lindsey
Referrals are being sent home for scoliosis, hearing, vision and diabetes risk. All referrals will be complete and sent home by the end of the week before we leave for break. Please make an appointment with the appropriate medical personnel if you receive a referral for your student. Once the appointment is complete please send the referral back to me with the results or let me know what the results are. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
